Resurrecting the Experiments

It has been too long since I have done an experiment. So I think it is time that I started on. Since there are only a few days left in this month, I am going to pick one that will get me into a habit for the next few months. I have been wanting to start back on WW - so to help with that I am going to document everything that I eat starting right now. I am chewing a piece of Trident Watermelon Twist sugarless gum (with Xtlitol). One stick is less than 5 cal and no value whatsoever. Seriously - I want to eat better...
so I can feel better
so I can have more energy
so I can play in the yard with my boys and not feel tired or get hurt
so I fit in my clothes better
so I can beat my co-worker in racquet ball
so I can lost some weight
so I can run 6.2 miles on May 1 and May 31
so I can feel good at the beach
so I can keep up with my wife's activities (okay - so it is a little wishful thinking)
so I can do so much more.

Do I think that just eating right will fix the problems in my world - no. But it sure will help. To this end, I need to start by documenting everything I eat and if I can the WW points to help me track how much I should be eating. I am going to do this with a google document. I'll post the link shortly once I have it set up.

Ok - so for the rest of the month. I will post everything that I eat online. Wish me luck.

Weigh-In

I weighed in today at the wellness center where I work. My weight was 222.2 lbs. I have a co-worker who is working on losing weight as well. We decided to get serious about it together. He weighed in today as well. Tomorrow I want to start working on my fitness goals. First I want to start running again. I signed up for a 10K on May1 and want to be ready for that. So wish me luck and I will try to start writing daily and let you know how things are going.
